A 59-year-old woman has been sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison after committing a series of disturbing sexual assaults against a teenage boy—crimes described by the court as predatory, violent, and deeply damaging.

Anne Lunt, a community café volunteer from Litherland, Merseyside, was convicted of two counts of sexual assault following a trial at Liverpool Crown Court. The jury unanimously found her guilty, despite her continued denial of the offences.

🧠 A Victim Silenced by Fear

The teenage victim, who endured the abuse in silence for years, bravely addressed the court through a statement read by prosecutor David Watson. He revealed the lasting psychological toll of Lunt’s actions:

“I get a lot of flashbacks of what she did to me… They make me feel suicidal. For years, I struggled to tell anybody. I hated having a secret. I hope I can move on, but I think this abuse will live with me for the rest of my life.”

The court heard that Lunt performed sex acts on the boy on two occasions, ignoring his protests and subjecting him to verbal and physical abuse. After the first incident, she reportedly called him a “dirty b” and struck him. During the second, she continued to touch him despite his clear distress, telling him she could “do what she wanted.”

👩‍⚖️ Judge Condemns “Domineering” Behaviour

Sentencing Lunt, Judge Denis Watson KC described her as having “distorted views about what is acceptable” and labelled her “someone who wishes to be in control, in charge and do as she wishes.”

He dismissed her courtroom tears as “a brief and temporary episode of her thinking about somebody else,” underscoring her lack of remorse and empathy.

Lunt’s criminal history includes a prior conviction for assault in 2021, when she bit her husband’s finger during a domestic incident.

🚫 Lifetime Restrictions Imposed

In addition to her prison sentence, Lunt has been placed on the sex offenders’ register for life and handed a 10-year restraining order prohibiting any contact with her victim.

The case has sparked renewed calls for vigilance in community spaces and support for survivors of abuse, especially those who struggle to speak out due to fear or shame.
